The setting and plot
The story is a fiction novel authored by Emmy Laybourne. It revolves around a boy by the name Dean Grieber in high school at the age of sixteen years living in Monument, Colorado in 2024.Main cities along the east coast experience mega tsunami creating weather phenomenon that causes havoc on monument due to major hailstorms. As Dean and his brother Alex are going to school, hailstorm causes the two buses they are riding on to crash into each other. Luckily Mrs. Everyone is almost killed on the bus, Dean and some other teenagers who survived seek refuge in a Greenway store. Greenway is a store which Mrs. Wooly crashes the bus into so as to take the children inside safely away from the hailstorm. It also serves as a department store in the monument used as a shelter and finds supplies by the driver and the children after the crash. There is a Pizza Shack inside the greenway where children spend most of the time. With the knowledge of operating ovens, Astrid uses the Pizza Shack to feed the children. During earthquakes and other disastrous events, children use the tables at the place to shelter.
